I have been fortunate to have a career that has allowed me to travel the world and come in contact with many different cultures and people.

A little bit of fear means you are doing something worth doing--you are stretching...You are going outside your immediate grasp.

I believe we're responsible for everything that happens to us.

Creativity is an inherent human quality of the highest order. When we create, we become more than the sum of our parts.

I don't dwell in the past; I don't wallow in old events and emotions. I don't waste time on regret. No use going over and over the details of what already happened.

Going to the school to meet the visually impaired was special. I thought I was inspiring them. I was thinking what I could possibly say to inspire them. Instead of me inspiring them, I felt they inspired me. They showed me how much courage they have, and how hard these teachers are working for these children. They made me feel like I don’t have any problems in life. It gave me uplift. They made me feel so great.

As I understand life at different levels, I can use music to express what these levels feel like to me. Hopefully the listener can be transported to this understanding by listening to the music.
